Chellomedia Moves National Geographic To OmniBus Colossus

OmniBus Systems, a provider of comprehensive broadcast automation and content management solutions, has announced that Chellomedia's Netherlands-based broadcast facilities provider, Digital Media Centre (DMC), has expanded its OmniBus Colossus installation with another eight channels, ready for the imminent transfer of its National Geographic TV playout operations.
Chellomedia provides European playout for National Geographic TV in Benelux, Scandinavia, Romania, Poland and central Europe. This latest installation of eight new SD Colossus channels brings the total to 18 channels installed since the launch of Chellomedia's new server-based playout platform two years ago. Chellomedia also broadcasts two HD National Geographic channels and provides playout for The History Channel, Universal and MGM on the Colossus platform.
Jon Try, Chellomedia's Vice President of Broadcast Operations and Engineering, said: "This block of new channels is part of our planned programme of expansion for the new platform. We are continuously upgrading the operation to offer our customers the best and most innovative services, and OmniBus has been instrumental in this expansion by providing us with the versatile and scalable technology we need."
Chellomedia's Colossus installation is integrated with equipment from Omneon, Miranda and Screen Subtitling.
